Hi all,
exporting to HTML messes up with the kill ring (all the exported
content is put on top of the the kill ring). Am I the only one
experiencing this? Is it a feature or a bug?
Best,

(setq org-export-copy-to-kill-ring nil)
I'm all for using nil as the default value by the way.
Would anyone strongly oppose to this?

Ooops, it's all in the manual...
But I'd strongly suggest making nil the default value. I find the
current setting strongly unintuitive (unless one read the manual, that
is;)), and not really needed (at least for me). If I have the export
results in a separate buffer or file, why would I need them in the kill
ring? Besides, I often want to do something like this: kill a fragment
of my buffer (usually some option, but not necessarily), export the
file, decide that I preferred the previous version, and yank it back.
Obviously, I can use undo - but what about yanking it in another place,
for instance?
Best,

I guess the default value is a left-over from the time when the HTML
export was just a quick hack, targetting users who want to export
small Org buffer and copy that into another (bigger) HTML file. Not
sure.

I don't know any other place than the kill-ring, but setting
`org-export-copy-to-kill-ring' to nil should solve the problem,
already, no?

Well, yes - it did it for me, at least. But it required setting the
option. And I suspect that what the majority of users might
need/expect is having this option set to nil - that was what I meant.
BTW, I also think that Org is awesome. Thanks a lot!
